After Lunch

Our Predator series continues as Pax, Rob, and Michael talk about the 2025 animated anthology (but not really an anthology) feature, Predator: Killer of Killers. 

Michael and Jess continue their year-long exploration of Stephen King with the 1983 novella, Cycle of the Werewolf, illustrated by Bernie Wrightson. We talk about favorite characters, scariest moments, and of course the 1985 movie adaptation, Silver Bullet.

Michael and Rob welcome the amazing Chris Schweizer who's currently serializing his new swashbuckling fantasy comic Outlaw's Apprentice. We talk about the comic and its inspirations, but also our favorite swashbucklers in that time-honored tradition of putting them into brackets and voting on them.  We hope you enjoy the tournament, but please do also check out Outlaws's Apprentice, because you'll enjoy that even more. And once you're hooked on the comic, visit Chris's Patreon page for cool behind-the-scenes updates on the story's creation.

Pax, Rob, Michael, and Evan return to the lounge to talk about hitchhiking, Mortal Kombat II, The Devil Wears Prada 2, giving money to people on the street, music videos, Agatha Christie's Seven Dials, Rob's Disney cruise, Hacks, and Beethoven's 6th.  

The After Lunch Irregulars (Jacob, Michael, Rob, and Pax) reconvene for a double episode, starting with an in-depth, spoiler-filled discussion of Guy Ritchie's Young Sherlock. If you're not ready for those spoilers yet though, skip ahead an hour to hear us talk about Disney's Holmes homage, The Great Mouse Detective!

Our dear friend and frequent podcast guest William Bruce West passed away on April 12. We miss him dearly. Part of the grieving process has been to talk about our friend and share memories of him, so the podcast community that Will was such an important part of has put together this tribute episode. There are personal reminiscences, but also many, many clips of Will's appearances on various shows through the years.  After Lunch is so pleased to present this episode, but we can't leave unrecognized that it was entirely produced - from initial concept to final edit - by Adam Pope, Will's regular podcasting partner these last few years. Thank you so much, Adam.    And Godspeed, Will. Rest in Peace
